Ellie Davies was my solicitor. I am beyond grateful for all Ellie has done for me. Professional, responsive, understanding, kind, very caring is a brief summary. When away Ellie ensured my case was handed over and nothing paused. Ellie kept me informed of the progress of my case. Any updates I had promptly with advisory action. I never came away from a meeting feeling hopeless, Ellie made me feel I always had someone on my side who understood the difficulty I had and was having. For this, I consider Ellie my hero. Costings for her exceptional service I consider acceptable, she gives a 5-star representation. Thank you so much.
I just want to say thank you so so much for all your support and advice throughout this long process!! You’ve been amazing, always answered any questions or worries I had... Can’t believe we have finally got there, at long last! You’ve really helped me to move forward in my life and can now look forward to the future. I will definitely bear you in mind for the future if needed and will absolutely recommend your services to anyone!!
Ellie Davies from LP has been absolutely phenomenal. She was calming, efficient, and reassuring in what was a very delicate situation regarding family law. Without Ellie, I feel life would be much more complicated! Thank you Ellie and thank you LP.
After going through a family law case, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Leathes Prior. I would highly recommend Ellie Davies to anyone searching for a family law solicitor that is willing to go above and beyond. Ellie was committed to helping my family through a difficult time from the very first consultation. She listened attentively to my situation, asked thoughtful questions, and provided a clear and concise explanation of the legal process. Ellie was always honest, upfront, and available when I needed her. Her expertise, professionalism, and compassionate approach put my family and I at ease throughout a stressful time, ultimately leading to a positive outcome. I am grateful for her help and would not hesitate to work with Ellie again if necessary.
Thank you so much for all your support and advice over the past few months. You’ve done an excellent job of translating legal jargon into plain English for me, and I truly appreciate it.
Ellie has provided unwavering support and professional advice throughout my extensive and difficult divorce process, spanning over two years. She adopts an entirely methodical and thorough approach to ensuring that progress is made, whilst maintaining a level of empathy that is critical for any client going through the long and emotional rollercoaster of divorce. She is efficient and competent, particularly when dealing with complex negotiations around finances and children. Her voice of reason and ability to articulate matters in a way that is easy for all parties to understand has been absolutely critical. She has the emotional intelligence and foresight that so many other legal advisors lack, which has made a big difference in the proceedings and makes her highly skilful at her job. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
